In many cases, the end of the year gives you time to step back and take stock of the last 12 months. This is when many of us take a hard look at what worked and what did not, complete performance reviews, and formulate plans for the coming year. For me, it is all of those things plus a time when I u...

Dialog Semiconductor plc (FWB: DLG), a provider of highly integrated
power management, audio and short range wireless technologies, announced
today that its SmartPulse(TM) connectivity solution has been selected by
Everspring for a new range of internet-enabled smart home solutions. By
using the DECT ULE (Ultra Low Energy) standard, Dialog is able to
provide interference-free wireless connectivity with the widest reach
throughout consumers' homes and low deployment costs.

Dialog's SmartPulse wireless connectivity chipset will enable consumers
to monitor and control Everspring's new range of smart plugs, smoke and
motion detectors, security cameras and thermostats via a smartphone or
tablet. These solutions will make it easier for consumers to reduce
energy usage by ensuring they haven't left electrical goods on standby,
adjust heating levels in each room and monitor security and fire alerts
remotely or when they're at home.

By using the DECT ULE 1.9GHz frequency, rather than the over-crowded
2.4GHz spectrum, SmartPulse avoids the problem of co-channel
interference, where multiple signals complete causing slow-downs in
response times and devices to drop off the network. 2.4GHz is already
used by Wi-Fi network routers, Bluetooth, microwave ovens and other
competing smart home solutions, which can result in signal conflicts,
particularly in densely populated areas.

DECT ULE has the widest reach and range of any short-range wireless
standard - up to 300 meters with a link budget of 123dB - which means it
can provide ceiling to cellar connectivity and beyond into consumers'
gardens through walls, windows and the roof. This makes it easy to
reliably pair each device with an IP gateway, which could be a broadband
router or DECT phone base station with an Ethernet connection. Dialog's
SmartPulse technology uses a minimal amount of energy and, depending on
the application use case, can be powered by a standard AAA battery pack
for around ten years.

Kevin Wang, Sales Director at Everspring commented, 'We believe Dialog's
DECT ULE-based SmartPulse solution is the most reliable, easy-to-deploy,
low energy smart home solution on market. Our smart home solutions will
provide consumers with the technology they need to make their homes more
comfortable, save energy, money and help the environment too.'

Sean McGrath, Vice President of Connectivity, Automotive and Industrial
Business Group commented, 'We're delighted that Everspring has chosen
Dialog's technology for its new home automation solutions to join our
growing range of ecosystem partners. With the advent of Dialog's
SmartPulse solution, which provides the interference-free, plug-and-play
connectivity that consumers want, and the always-on power of smartphones
and tablets, we believe this is a market poised for significant growth.'

With world-class manufacturing partners, Dialog operates a fabless
business model. The company is listed on the Frankfurt (FWB: DLG) stock
exchange, is a member of the German TecDax index and generated revenues
of US$774 million in 2012. www.dialog-semiconductor.com
